That’s because Connor tells them to!
Have you noticed that when the Oilers have the puck the other teams are all over them, and when the other team has the puck the Oilers backup into their own net trying to block shots? What they are doing is screening the goalie and sometimes they are in so far that they actually interfere with the goalie. When Wallin joined the team last season he was great, now he backs into the net like Nurse. Is that the coaching staff? Skinner plays much better when he can see and has room to react. Seems like the Oilers get the puck and 3 or 4 guys swarm the guy with the puck and the other team has the puck and they get nothing but space and time. The system sucks or the Oilers suck.
Different coaches; same results. What do you think?
